A Fulton County grand jury investigating the role of former President Donald Trump and his team’s efforts to uncover election fraud following the 2020 election has reportedly handed down 10 indictments.
Cameras were allowed in the courtroom as the documents were handed to Judge Robert McBurney, who has been presiding over the investigation. The grand jury heard witness testimony throughout the day and into the evening.
The county clerk said it could take up to three hours to process the indictments after they were accepted by the judge.

Earlier in the day, the integrity of the investigation was called into question after a Fulton County official posted a document online detailing charges brought against Trump before the grand jury finished hearing witness testimony and deliberating.
